Tech experts and writers wished the $1,499 Meta Quest Pro headset could have captured mixed reality at its launch so they could have shown us what they observed during testing. Version 47 of the software, which unlocks that ability, has already started to roll out to certain users and will shortly reach the rest of them. When utilizing this software that chains your real world with a virtual one, you’ll be able to hit record, Cameron Faulkner from The Verge explains. The video below shows how grainy it appears there. It’s good that this function was added so soon after the headset’s release.

3D lifestyle, Pakistan’s # 1 Medical Aesthetics brand launches a groundbreaking non-surgical technology for vaginal rejuvenation to help women suffering from embarrassing symptoms caused by Urinary Tract Infections, Stress Incontinence & Laxity.
In a glamorous event on Saturday afternoon in the media hub of Pakistan, 3D lifestyle, the licensor of the original Non-Surgical 3D Lipo technology from the UK launched a diverse range of multi-platform technologies.
With its new acclaimed success and recognition with its 5 months existence in Pakistan, 3D lifestyle is rapidly becoming a darling for those who have experienced its Non-Surgical treatments like 3D Cavitation and 3D Cryolipolysis for Fat-loss and its ever-so-popular 3D HIFU facelift which has raised the bar in the ever-evolving anti-ageing market.Pakistan’s most famous Celebrities and top fashion and technology Bloggers witnessed a live demo where a couple of randomly selected patients volunteered from the audience underwent treatments for Laser Hair Removal and Skin Rejuvenation.
3D lifestyle showcased a range of 3 new technologies
3D lifestyle launched 3D-Trilogy ICE which is the latest and the most advanced laser hair removal technology today. In a very saturated laser hair removal market, what makes 3D-Trilogy ICE unique is its gliding motion Hair removal (not a static application) ensuring safe, comfortable and effective hair removal on ALL skin types. With the “Power of 3” the 3D-Trilogy ICE sets a new benchmark in laser hair removal technology as it offers 3 wavelengths ALEXANDRITE 755nm, DIODE 808nm and YAG 1064nm. 3D-Trilogy ICE combines the proven benefits of 3 wavelengths achieving maximum results on ALL skin types and Hair colours when compared to single wavelength alternatives available in the market.
The 2nd highlight of the night was the 3D-Nano sure technology which offers a painless & seamless solution for the removal of stretch marks, pigments, scars and tattoos across the full spectrum of ink colours. 3D-Nano sure is the gold standard in dual-wavelength Q-switched Nd: YAG technology and by far the most effective technology in modern-day skin resurfacing. Unwanted dark and multi-colour tattoos, as well as birthmarks, pigments and other skin rejuvenating procedures, can be safely and effectively conducted using the advanced 3D-Nano sure dual-wavelength laser with the Q-Switching application.
The Crown Jewel for the night was when Mr. Jawad Qureshi, Founder & CEO of 3D lifestyle, introduced the V-JUVE sending the crowd in a huge frenzy. Studies indicate that now 1 in 3 women in Pakistan aged between 30 and 60 suffer from embarrassing symptoms caused by Urinary Tract Infections, Stress Incontinence & Vaginal Laxity and Dryness.
Using the ‘Power of 3, V-JUVE offers a diverse range of treatments within the three main categories of fractional CO2 skin resurfacing, VRL and surgical CO2 applications to provide a clinical solution for various feminine concerns. The procedures are fast, painless, safe and highly effective. Life events such as childbirth, weight fluctuation and hormonal changes may overstretch and damage the vaginal tissue and the pelvic floor as well as alter the mucosal tone of the vaginal wall. These changes can lead to urinary incontinence, vaginal atrophy, dryness and can cause recurring infections all of which have a potential effect on the quality of life and self-confidence of women as 3D lifestyle believes that SHE MATTERS!3D V-JUVE is the ultimate three-dimensional solution providing a minimally invasive procedure. The 3D V-JUVE fractional CO2 laser delivers superficial energy into the vaginal skin which creates tiny white ablated dots of damaged tissue on the mucosal lining of the vaginal canal. The resulting heating response stimulates new collagen production improving the thickness of the vaginal lining. In addition to the vaginal tightening, the fractional CO2 application can also be used for vulva rejuvenation and skin resurfacing.
Today’s woman is very conscious about her health and hygiene. 3D lifestyle stays committed to providing the cutting-edge technologies positioned around feminine health in Pakistan with its clients trusting the excellence in technologies provided by highly experienced and qualified Aesthetic Consultants who happen to be leading Plastic surgeons, Dermatologists and Cosmetologists globally.
The night ended with a keynote address from Mr. Jawad Qureshi as he stated “I am here to assure our mothers and sisters that 3D lifestyle stays committed and delivers upon its promise for providing revolutionary technologies with unparalleled quality of patient care at all of our clinics nationwide. Today is a day not to be forgotten and with the launch of our 3 new devices, I can assure you of a life-changing experience. With our 22 clinics and counting nationwide, I have a dream to offer quality health care in every district and city of Pakistan and I request our esteemed Doctors and other volunteers to join me in this cause and grandfather 3D lifestyle to be an exemplary company in Pakistan’s history.”

[Karachi – March 19, 2018] One of the country’s most admired food brands, Peek Freans conducted a first-of-its-kind on ground three days activation campaign at Dolmen Mall in Karachi in order to launch their newest addition in the family called “Peek Freans Cake Up,” which comprises of a range of center-filled cupcakes. This followed similar activities across Lahore and Islamabad in previous weeks.
Capturing the essence of #RealGoodnessInside, two different but very well connected activities were held at Dolmen Mall Clifton to deliver an exciting and fun experience to the visitors. The activation brought together kids and families who were engaged in various interactive games and entertaining exhibits.
The Cake Up Factory, that had already been through three different cities and 4 malls, was set up at the mall, receiving loads of raving responses. The 3D game allowed kids and even their parents to create their own cupcakes by playing through the entire baking process. To take a chapter out of technology, the entire game was completely immersive, with pictures of consumers engaging in mixing, baking and filling having pictures emailed to them as memorabilia.
As part of the first class experiential leg of the activation campaign, The Real Goodness Tunnel added more flavour to the experience by allowing visitors to immerse in a world of strawberry, caramel and chocolate scents as they glided through the tunnel. The consumers walking into the mall were bemused by the giant tunnel-like-structure that had propped up overnight atop the main escalator of the malls’ atrium, taking one on a 23-second journey through the world of Cake Up. Upon exiting the visitors received a free Peek Freans Cake Up to try out the delectable difference. In this way all of their senses of sight, sound, taste and touch were activated at the same time – a process referred to as sensory marketing.
Being one of the leading brands on the block, Peek Freans has launched various exciting and memorable campaigns from time to time. From the instant classic advertising that launched the country’s largest biscuit brand Sooper to the recent innovations of Chocolicious and Jam Delight, English Biscuit Manufacturers Pvt. Ltd. (Makers of Peek Freans in Pakistan) has held successful executions and promotional campaigns including advertising, outdoor, in-store activation as well as experiential, PR and digital elements.
With a purpose to launch their latest brand Peek Freans Cake Up, an announcer campaign was executed earlier to build hype and trial around the product, which was later followed by Pakistan’s most viral TVC – #RealRishtey, with 20million+ views within 20 days on social media only.
The activation concluded at the end of the weekend, making sure that its visitors had a spectacular experience of #RealGoodnessInside the mall with lots of fun and entertainment.
